Heist difficulty increase?

Ok, this may be a really stupid question but here goes. Do the heists get harder every week? I know that sounds ridiculous, but it really feels like they do.
I've been beating the final tier of heists for about 4-5 weeks now. In between every event my scoundrel squad has improved; mostly Boba, who I've been devoting more time and resources to. But every time the next event rolls around I still have trouble. I feel like as my scoundrels get better the events should become easier, but I am not noticing that happening. I still manage to beat the final tier eventually, and I will today as well, but I'm confused as to why it hasn't become less of a challenge. Is there anyone out there who can provide me with an opportunity to exercise my confirmation bias?
Also... pls nerf CUP

I did feel like there was a difficulty hike a few heists ago; however I think that was probably just due to RNG providing the enemy with some extra crits or something. Since then it has felt about the same.

Ok, so its probably not getting harder. I'm guessing the issue is that my squad isn't really good enough, but I eventually get good enough RNG to pull it off after replaying over and over. I'm running a G9 with ok mods, 2 G8s with bad mods, and 2 G7s with no mods. Also I don't have the ideal team comp (no Lando). Perhaps it's merely by the grace of RNGeesus that I've been able to beat the final tier as many times as I have.

The number of enemies in the heist stages is somewhat randomized. I haven't paid attention to the first two stages, but the last stage can have 3 to 5 enemies. That's in addition to the other randomness in combat. So depending on RNGesus you might get an easy or hard heist. Luckily you can try again until an easy one comes up.

No, my squad beats it in almost the same number of moves everytime it comes. Slight variation depending on Lando splattering all or just some. I mean, my fifth scoundrel is Chewie... who actually replaced Cad Bane because yes, Chewie is superior to that POS.

Boba and Lando could usually handle it with a couple other level 1's. I think you are just noticing the inconsistency in the credit heist itself. The number of enemies you face can vary. Sometimes each wave has an extra enemy.
